"Well, this sucks."
Green rolled his eyes as Violet sat on the Carpenter's bench.
"You can't be so negative, sister." He said, putting the finishing touch on a blueprint.
Violet sighed. "Green, it's been five months since Alduin fell, and since then, nothing has happened! I'm bored."
Green very carefully placed down the quill. He was so tired of her complaining. He could handle the boredom (He was bored, himself). He could even handle the constant invasion of his personal time. But he could not stand her constant search for violence. It was maddening. Sometimes, it was hard to believe that they came from the same mother.
He tried to choose his words carefully. "Would it kill you," he said slowly, "to engage in peaceful activity every once in a while?"
Violet seemed to consider this. "Yes."
Green groaned in frustration. "You're impossible."
Her eyes flashed with anger. "Oh, I'm impossible? I'm not the one who spends all day moping!"
"I do not mope!"
Violet jumped off the carpenting table. "Oh, yes you do!"
"At least I know how to maintain a decent relationship!"
"At least I don't reject a part of myself!"
Instantly, Violet knew she had struck a nerve and wished she could take it back. The matter of the wolf was a sensitive topic, and she had just shot it with lighting.
Green stood so fast that the chair he was sitting on slammed into the ground with a loud thud!
"I'm leaving," he said. "I am so sick of you always taking my time and corrupting my motives!"
Violet's anger flared up again, and she forgot her regret. "I do not corrupt your motives! You do that on your own!"
Green ignored her and strode across the grass where his horse was tied to a fence.
"Fine!" She shouted at him as he sat in the saddle. "Leave me alone! I hope you never come back!"
The horses hooves slammed into the dirt, and just like that, her brother was gone.
"Shit," she said, watching him go.
